Orders a glass water, "is this water fresh"? No, it comes out of a bottle. Yelp review: preposterous, they use pre-made water!
Pre-made and store-bought isn't the same you donut. You don't wait for the customer to order and then start growing a plant, harvest it, mill it, make pasta – you don't even deserve to lick the grease of my pan. Pre-made pasta can be fresh as well. Just like a certain Gordon Ramsey used canned pea's. Now get out. OUT!
Michon's will forever be known for Gordon's statement "$17000 each? You have the Rolls-Royce of smokers, yet you bag it, freeze it for days, then reheat it in a $200 microwave".
And in the same episode,
Gordon: "Was there anything I ate today that wasn't microwaved?"
There's pretty much zero chance the reviews were worse after Gordon's menu changes… UNLESS, they change the menu back or fail to execute the new menu properly or the reviews are just trolling
Lela's from the first season was the first restaurant to close before it's episode even aired, they were too deep in the hole and in too much debt, they couldnt be saved. Yep!
I always wonder what happens. -They fail because they were already in too deep issues? -Failed cause they slipped back into their own ways? -Failed cause they were burdened with a "quality" they realistically could not maintain? -The owners simply had no clue how to run a restaurant in their given conditions and no matter what Gordon did they were going downhill anyway?
Yea cede ainât got no social media cuz she knew she was trash and most likely deleted all social media cuz ppl probably told her she was garbage and NEVER deserved Ramsays help
It seems the failures come from not doing what Chef Ramsay had taught. He helps. He leaves. And then standards slip again. So they fail. I'm not surprised.
The problem with Ramsey is that he makes restaurants too complex for the ownerâs limited skillsets. Plus, with the new menus, Iâm sure food costs go up a lot after his visits
Let me just say the person that commented about the lasagna being made the night before…..what did theu expect? Do you think at a middle class restaurant that you order lasagna and someone literally whips the ingredients together and layers a pan just for you? Not possible not even at a good place.
The only ones that succeed are the ones that already have passionate leadership and staff, and have just come under some kind of hardship out of their control. The places where the owners are clueless and the staff doesn't really want to work hard are doomed. There's no way you're gonna take staff, who are used to sitting on their asses for years, and over night make them into the level of workers that Gordon would have in his restaurants.
So, hereâs the problem. There are only 3 food supply companies in the US. Sysco is the largest and the other two are thinking of merging. Itâs difficult to get farm fresh foods when you basically only have the nationwide options. They have driven every regional distributor out of business. The soon to be duopoly is only going to exacerbate the situation. If you think mozzarella sticks and deep fried cauliflower taste eerily similar at different locations, thatâs why, theyâre getting all their supplies from the same company. Itâs not that restaurants donât want better quality food, they obviously do, thereâs just nowhere to source most of it. If youâve ever had a school lunch or meal in the hospital, youâve had what Sysco sells. Thatâs a big reason why hospital and school lunches are abysmal.
To be fair, none of these problems were to blame Ramsey for. Stupid people who know nothing about running a business, shouldn't be allowed to run a business. Not everything is being told about these places. After Ramsey left, did they turn around and fire the chef for cheaper hires???? Did they go to cheaper low quality food items????? Who knows. Too bad they didn't do thorough investigations to the matter.
I can kinda understand the urge to revert back to the previous menu. As much fun as it is to watch these episodes, from the restaurant perspective itâs often âGordon comes, curses a lot, removes the ownerâs identity snd imprints his ownâ. Would be nice to see him work WITH the kitchen to create THEIR new menu, rather than âThis is what youâre cooking now!â
I just want to point out that lasagna SHOULD be made the day ahead, so complaining that's not fresh is kind of hilarious. The rest of the reviews seem fine, but lasagna made the night before doesn't tell us anything about how fresh the food is.
Only got to the second restaurant so far and from what I can see, it was a successful bar.
With hindsight they should have leaned hard into the bar aspect.
Strip out the restaurant area and stick pool tables and extra seats.
Maybe another bar (if space allows)
I have zero experience in the hospitality business but surely being just a bar with existing loyal customers, focusing just on that is the right way to go.

Love the voices you do for the reviews đ

1:50 why is she acting like she didnât know she was going to get a chef
Not the southern accent
Why the accents for review readings? Seems offensive to Southerners.
The thumbnail… there's no way that owner looks like this lol
Mange mange was nasty.
The voice over you do cracked me up. Very good đ
Unsure why your mocking the reviewers with your take on what they may sound like.
Yes a gordon ramsey makeover doesn't mean better reviews….you actually have to follow through with it.
What do all these businesses have in common after complimenting and getting money from Ramsay for being filmed? They all blame him
My belly button makes great lint balls

OR a lot more options…
10:44 bro why did you give Felicia that voice? That was devious and sounded personal đ
Yea cede ainât got no social media cuz she knew she was trash and most likely deleted all social media cuz ppl probably told her she was garbage and NEVER deserved Ramsays help
Gordon canât even make a grilled cheese
Loosers
Some turds are harder to polish than others

Something I heard, that Trevor from mangia mangia got clean and graduated from culinary school
video is unwatchable due to shitty filter on it..why?why?why u need to use this shitty filter?
The video is way too quiet.
closing before the ep even airs is wild

Michons hurts her father seemed like such a nice guy =/
Like Gordon's show's you cannot blame chief Gordon for their mistake Gordon was their to help them out
Did they get worse or did they get exposed. Iâd say they go exposed
Please donât fake a southern accent. You sound like a doofus, lol.

How many just take the makeover and new kitchen equipment in the hope of getting more when selling?
Whatâs up with the accents when reading reviews?

okay bro the southern accent was fucking awful and completely unnecessary
What is the racist âaccentâ this clown puts on?
